The Dallas Cowboys feature a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to skew 4.9% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context).This week's line implies a throwing game script for the Cowboys, who are -3-point underdogs.The Philadelphia Eagles defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, leading opposing QBs to attempt the 2nd-most passes in football (41.1 per game) this year.This year, the porous Eagles defense has yielded a monstrous 188.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing wide receivers: the 3rd-worst in the league.As it relates to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Philadelphia's collection of CBs has been lousy this year, grading out as the 4th-worst in the NFL.
